Heat Pump Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Your Installation

We start with an in-home assessment to size your system correctly. This isn’t a quick sales pitch – we’re measuring your space, checking your electrical, and determining what equipment will actually work for your home.

Installation typically takes one to two days depending on your setup. We handle electrical connections, refrigerant lines, and any ductwork modifications needed. Our crew protects your floors and cleans up completely when finished.

After installation, we test everything thoroughly and walk you through your new system. You get all warranty information, maintenance recommendations, and our contact info for any questions that come up later.

Complete Heat Pump Installation

What's Included in Every Installation

All electrical work is included – new circuits, disconnects, and any panel upgrades needed for your heat pump. We handle permits and inspections so you don’t have to deal with city requirements.

Ductless installations include mounting, refrigerant line installation, and connection to your outdoor unit. For ducted systems, we modify existing ductwork as needed and ensure proper airflow throughout your home.

How much does heat pump installation cost in Burlingame?

Heat pump installation in Burlingame typically ranges from $8,000 to $15,000 depending on your system type and home requirements. Ductless mini-splits start around $8,000 for single zones, while whole-house ducted systems run $12,000-$15,000. The final cost depends on electrical work needed, permit fees, and equipment specifications. We provide written estimates after evaluating your specific situation, and many homeowners qualify for California rebates that reduce the total investment.
Most heat pump installations take one to two days to complete. Simple ductless installations often finish in one day, while ducted systems or homes requiring electrical upgrades may need two days. We’ll give you an exact timeline during your estimate based on your specific requirements. Weather can affect outdoor work, but we schedule installations to minimize delays. You’ll have heating and cooling restored the same day we finish installation, and we test everything thoroughly before considering the job complete.
Yes, heat pump installation in Burlingame requires permits for both electrical and mechanical work. The city requires permits to ensure installations meet safety codes and energy efficiency standards. We handle all permit applications and scheduling inspections as part of our installation service. This protects you legally and ensures your installation meets local requirements. Permit costs are typically included in our installation quotes, and we coordinate with city inspectors so you don’t have to manage that process yourself.
Heat pumps work extremely well in Burlingame’s mild climate. Our temperatures rarely drop below freezing, which means heat pumps operate efficiently year-round. Modern heat pumps provide excellent heating even in cooler weather and offer superior cooling during warm months. Burlingame’s climate is actually ideal for heat pump efficiency – you’ll see significant energy savings compared to traditional heating systems. Many Peninsula homeowners are switching to heat pumps specifically because they work so well in our moderate coastal climate.
Heat pumps need basic maintenance to run efficiently and last their full lifespan. Change filters every 1-3 months depending on usage and filter type. Keep outdoor units clear of debris, leaves, and vegetation. Annual professional maintenance includes checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, and inspecting electrical connections. Most manufacturers require annual service to maintain warranty coverage. We offer maintenance plans that handle these requirements automatically. Proper maintenance keeps your system running efficiently and prevents costly repairs down the road.
Ductless heat pumps work perfectly in older Burlingame homes, especially those without existing ductwork. Many Peninsula homes built before central air can add efficient heating and cooling without major renovations. Ductless systems only require small holes for refrigerant lines, making installation much less invasive than adding ductwork. We can install multiple indoor units to heat and cool different areas of your home independently. This gives you better temperature control and efficiency than trying to retrofit old homes with traditional ducted systems.
